Extension of Steel Re-bars in piles - Calculation
The steel bars are less than fifty times the diameter of bar around the pile cut-off level.
The re-bars of the piles will be welded using ordinary welding electrodes.
The length of the weld to be calculated as follows;
𝜋 0.87 𝑓𝑦 d
L
4 T fw
Where fy = specified characteristic strength of the bar = 460 N/mm2
fw = weld metal shear stress = 160 N/mm2
T = Effective Throat thickness = w/2 where 'w' is the size of weld (in 'mm')
(conservative sides as per BS code)
T = 8/2 = 4 mm (w= weld size = 8.0mm)
1. For rebar of T-16
𝜋 0.87 460 16 16
L
4 160 4.00
= 125.7mm Say = 130 mm
2. For rebar of T-20
𝜋 0.87 460 20 20
L
4 160 4.00
= 196.4mm Say = 200 mm
3. For rebar of T-25
𝜋 0.87 460 25 25
L
4 160 5.00
= 245.5mm Say = 250 mm

PILING WORKS FOR BAHRAIN MARINA (PHASE 1)
TYPICAL FOR 16mm REBARS
PILING WORKS FOR BAHRAIN MARINA (PHASE 1)
The 500mm extension requirement for welding
connection for 20mm diameter reinforcement is not
applicable at site since the capping beam depth is
only 500mm in size. All rectification works for rebar
extension shall be made with HILTI RE 500 as
internally agreed between NASS QC and MSCEB.
